Is the conversion rate always fixed?

Yes, the conversion uses a fixed factor of 0.0166666668 since one minute equals 60 seconds.

Can this tool be used for fluctuating heat fluxes?

This tool assumes steady-state conditions; fluctuating heat fluxes might require more advanced analysis beyond unit conversion.
